During exchanges organized at the headquarters of the Federation of Enterprises of Congo, in Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, on Friday, June 2, 2023, innovations in the law against money laundering and terrorist financing took place.

The Chairman of the FEC Finance Committee, Willy Mulamba believes that “these exchanges were intended to allow members of the Federation of Enterprises of Congo (FEC), to understand the scope of the innovations introduced by Law No. 22/068 of 27 December 2022, in the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism Suite to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction so as to appropriate and apply them, finally, to address the operational difficulties that companies may encounter.”

For the Executive Secretary of the National Financial Intelligence Unit (CENAREF), Alder Kisula Betika, money laundering and the financing of terrorism are currently considered serious acts to the point of being legally criminalized by all states. According to the latter, “these two scourges endanger economic stability. These illicit activities are factors polluting the economy that can have harmful effects on the local market and affect the global economy.”
